This entry is identical to the Daily Devotional Challenge that Team Kenya is using during their trip.  It is a study on the 10 Core Values of International Christian Center.

WE VALUE EXCELLENCE

Scripture Meditations

Colossians 3:23-24
Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.  Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ.

1 Thessalonians 4:1
Finally, dear brothers and sisters, we urge you in the name of the Lord Jesus to live in a way that pleases God, as we have taught you. You live this way already, and we encourage you to do so even more.

Philippians 4:8
And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.

Journal Questions

  1. Has it been easy or difficult to view your role on this trip as “working for the Lord?”  Write down the three experiences that you feel best demonstrate your desire to work hard for God. 
  2. Reflect back on the trip.  Make a list of the experiences that were true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, and/or admirable.


Actions
Some suggestions for putting it into practice today:

  1. As you minister in service today, approach your role with the dedication, energy, and excellence that God deserves.
  2. Make contact with ICC members.  Encourage each person you meet in a very specific way. 
  3. Make sure that your conversation today is flavored by what is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, and admirable. 
  4. Debrief with your teammates about the trip experience.
